Spring to Summer Colors for Eyes and Cheeks

Bright blushes are a definitely must-have for me, although I usually layer two colors for more depth and dimension. Most of the time I will layer a soft wash of bright over a bronzer. For eyes I don't really wear brights. The brightest shades I have are golds or pinky-peachy shimmers. I'll feature a few non-neutrals, but for bright eye colors I'm a bit lacking.

The next and final part of this series will include a few tips and look ideas of how I incorporate brights with neutrals.

* Those who follow me on Twitter know that I no longer have my NARS Angelika Multiple since my Jack Russell pup Lucy ate it. Thanks to all who have asked about her! She is fine and dandy just like the vet assured me over the phone. In fact she is acting like it was any other puppy treat. The picture above at the very top was taken pre-puppy-consumption.

I'm in love with this post--- just seeing all the bright blush colors side by side makes me happy! It's also incredibly helpful in discerning all the nuances between shades; I'm loving the swatches of Bobbi brown shimmer blushes that one rarely sees online. (And poor puppy! I hope she's ok even if your angelika isn't =P)

Oh, what lovely shades! I own many of those pinks and a few peaches (hard to get it right with NW20-25 skin). I use the BB Coral Shimmer Blush with bronzers and other blushes.

My one "bright" eye shadow is for the crease and it's MAC Coppering. I'll own it forever. I have MAC pigment in Old Gold but can't figure out how to use it, other than the inside corner of the eye. It's such a new "medium" for me, but I'm learning.

I am LOVING your Spring to Summer posts! NARS Gilda looks so pretty...I wonder why I never seem to hear much about it. MAC Pink Bronze also looks amazing - very unique. I've never heard of that one but then again, I don't really know many MAC pigments. Also, glad to hear Lucy is doing okay :) R.I.P. Angelika Multiple.

i love this post inside out! so many beautiful blushes. i love bright colours but i can't wear them well.. therefore, i sheer them out all the time or just look at them. you have a beautiful collection. and thank you so much for the swatches. :)
